a/n: Things ain't so cut and dry anymore, is they? :) I'd like to thank you, Dear Readers, for taking a leap of faith with me on this series...and to express my appreciation that my non de plume's head has thus far avoided the metaphorical pikes of both the DD and AJ kingdoms. Having said that, I offer a missing scene from an episode that brought us more questions than answers. Keep the faith! (As always, my thanks to FCB Allison for dealing with all manner of of grammatical carnage and the occasional delusion of grandeur.)
